Jesus’ time was getting close and the Jews who wished to kill him were getting closer but he wasn’t quite ready, so he went back to the beginning.
In Jesus’ day, people didn’t travel as far as they do today so many if not most of the people that Jesus would have encountered as he returned to the area where John had baptized, would have remembered John as well as his prophesy concerning Jesus and would have heard of him with his teaching and healing.
Now they could decide for themselves if John had been right.
This passage tells us that they did understand that John had spoken the truth and they came to believe. We don’t have this gift of seeing and experiencing Jesus in the flesh, but we have come to believe.

Have you ever thought of thanking those who brought you to believe? None of us gets there on our own. Someone must have told you about Jesus, and others must have nurtured that faith, helped you in times of doubt and brought you to the point where you could accept Jesus as your Savior.
These are important people in your life and we should be grateful for them. For me, it started with my grandmother, then my parents who witnessed their faith to me. It continued with the many people of faith through the years who were there to answer questions, challenged me and helped me grow in my knowledge and love of Jesus. Who do you need to thank?
Prayer
Gracious God, thank you for putting all these wonderful people in my life. Let me be able to thank them for bringing others to you. Amen.
